Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、商用車、特に、バスのためのホーン型バックミラーアセンブリに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
後者に適用するために、ますます注目を集めているミラー設計が使用されている。これらの設計の少なくとも１つは、はるか前方に取り付けられ、バスの車体のＡコラムの上端から外側に延びるミラー構造である。このような外側に延びる設計、いわゆる「ホーンミラー」の場合、運転者が、入口領域と、運転者に見えないフロントゾーンとを監視するために、メインミラーと補助ミラーとが組み込まれる。
【０００３】
そのようなホーン型バックミラーアセンブリの代表的なものは、ＤＥ−４４ ２９ ６０４ Ａ１により公知になっている。別のそのようなホーン型バックミラーアセンブリは、ＥＰ−Ａ−０ ８６５ ９６７から知られている。後者は、車体に取り付け可能なサポートアームであって、基本エレメントとして保持用管状構造を有するサポートアームと、管状構造の自由端に固定されたハウジングに納められたメインミラーと、ハウジングに配置され適度に電動調節可能な鏡板とを含む。さらに、上記ＥＰ−Ａ−０ ８６５ ９６７は、補助ミラーを支持するとともに、ボデー端とメインミラーとの間でカバーとして管状構造を覆う成形部材を開示している。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この公知のバックミラーアセンブリでは、ハウジングを有するメインミラーと、成形部材で覆われ、中に組み込まれた補助ミラーを有するサポートアームとが、互いに連結される２つの別個の構造部材を構成する。この２部品構造は、そのようなホーン型バックミラーの設計においてある特定の制限をもたらし、そしてまた、組み合わせ式の構造をもたらす。さらに、そのようなホーン型ミラーの取り付けは、多数の部品の組み立てのため、複雑になる。
従って、本発明の目的は、ＥＰ−Ａ−０ ８６５ ９６７の公知のホーン型バックミラーを、よりコンパクトな形状にすることである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段およびその作用・効果】
上記目的は、請求項１の特徴により達成される。
請求項１によれば、メインミラーのハウジングは、成形部材に組み込まれ、メインミラーと、少なくとも１つの補助ミラーとが、１つのミラーヘッドに取り付けられる。メインミラーと補助ミラーとを分離せずにすむため、コンパクトで優美なミラー設計が可能である。ミラーヘッドを有するコンパクトな形状は、さらなる利点も有する。なぜなら、走行中に風により引き起こされる口笛のような不快な音が回避されるからである。そのような音は、現在の技術水準に従う２部品設計において起こり得る。また、空気抵抗についても、上記のよりコンパクトなミラーヘッドによって改善される。
【０００６】
本発明の好適な実施形態によれば、車両の前のゾーンと、車両の前端と車両の前車軸との間の左右のゾーンとを監視するために、１つの補助ミラーが設けられる。このようにして、以前の２つのミラーの機能を１つのミラーで果たし、それと同時に、よりコンパクトな構造が可能になる。さらに、２つの補助ミラーではなく１つの補助ミラーを使用することにより、人間工学的に実質的な利点が得られる。なぜなら、２つの死角ゾーン用のわずか１つの補助ミラーと、１つのメインミラーとを観察するだけでよくなるからである。
【０００７】
請求項３に従う本発明の有利な実施形態は、２つの異なる死角ゾーンを監視できるようにする、単純化された形の補助ミラーを示す。
請求項５および請求項６に記載される本発明の別の有利な実施形態によれば、成形部材のカバーが設けられる。
このカバーによれば、第１に成形部品はその下に配置された部品とともに保護され、第２にカバーにラッカーで色を塗り、車両の色に合わせられる。
【０００８】
本発明のさらに他の有利な実施形態によれば、ミラーヘッド上に、周囲を囲むように水分散リムが設けられる。この水分散リムにより、雨天の場合に、水および汚れが走行中に風でミラー表面に運ばれることが防がれる。
【０００９】
本発明のさらに他の実施形態によれば、ミラーアセンブリは、フロントガラスの方向に前方に折り畳むか、または、サイドウィンドウの方向に後方に折り畳むことができるようなものにされる。この方法により、ドライブスルー洗車機を使用する際に、ミラーを取り外す必要がなくなる。
【００１０】
本発明のさらに他の実施形態によれば、本発明によるミラーアセンブリは、クランプ機構を用いて車両に取り付け可能であり、このクランプ機構により、ミラーアセンブリを車両から簡単に取り外す、即ち、取り除くことが可能になる。このクランプ機構は、本願と同日に提出された出願（弁護士ファイル番号：Ｐ／１１ＭＬ０３０９／ＤＥ）の目的である。本明細書において、上記出願の内容全体を参考として援用する。
本発明のさらに他の有利な実施形態は、残りの従属請求項に見られる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のさらなる特徴、詳細および利点は、図面を用いた以下の好適な実施形態の説明に示される。
図１および図２は、車両（図示せず）の左側または右側のいずれかに取り付けられるミラーアセンブリのための支持構造２を有する、本発明に係るホーン型バックミラーの好適な実施形態を斜視図で示す。支持構造２は、サポートアーム４に連結される。サポートアーム４の他方端では、メインミラー８と補助ミラー１０とが、共通のハウジング、即ちミラーヘッド６に配置される。サポートアーム４およびミラーヘッド６は、発泡成形部材１２からなり、発泡成形部材１２は、ＥＰ−Ａ−０ ８６５ ９６７に示されているのと同様、キャリア構造１３（図１には詳細に図示せず）に挿入されている。この点に関しては、ＥＰ−Ａ−０ ８６５ ９６７を参照されたい。キャリア構造１３の車両端を、図７および図８に示した。メインミラー８および補助ミラー１０は、共通のハウジング、即ち、ミラーヘッド６において、対応する調節装置１４および１６にそれぞれ取り付けられる。ミラーヘッド６は、走行方向からの保護のためにカバー１８で覆われる。カバー１８は、車両と同じ色にラッカーで着色可能である。
【００１２】
図３および図４には、ミラーヘッド６上の周囲に配置された水分散リム２０を示した。この水分散リム２０は、走行中に起きる風によって、水および汚れがメインミラー８および補助ミラー１０の表面に運ばれるのを防ぐ。
【００１３】
図５は、補助ミラー１０の平面図を示し、図６は、図５の切断線Ａ−Ａに沿った断面図を示す。補助ミラー１０はドーム状で、台形の形状であり、角に丸みが付けられている。
【００１４】
この形状のため、補助ミラー１０は、２つの死角ゾーン、即ち、車両の前端と前車軸との間のゾーンを確実に監視可能にする。
【００１５】
サポートアーム４の車両端は、調節および折り畳み機構２２に連結される。調節および折り畳み機構２２により、ミラーアセンブリの基本的な調節を行うことができるとともに、ミラーアセンブリを前方、即ち、フロントガラスの方向か、または、後方、即ち、サイドウィンドウの方向に折り畳むことができる。調節および折り畳み機構２２は、２つのピボットアームを有するヒンジピボット２４を有する。一方のピボットアームは、キャリア構造１３の車両端であり、他方のピボットアームは、挿入部材２６である。
【００１６】
図８に示される通り、調節および折り畳み機構２２のヒンジピボット２４は、カップ状ばね３０とストップワッシャ３２とを通るヒンジボルト２８により結合される。ヒンジボルト２８は、ヒンジボルト２８の上下にそれぞれ配置される２つのねじ３４および３５により、所定の場所に固定される。ストップワッシャ３０は、カップ状ばね３０により互いに押しつけられ、それにより、ミラーアセンブリが、特定の角度位置に制限される。
【００１７】
支持構造２は、クランプアセンブリとして作られ、挿入部材２６を有している。挿入部材２６には、クランプウェッジ３６が摺動可能に取り付けられる。挿入部材２６には、矩形のクランプ受け３８も取り付けられる。クランプ受けは、ねじで車体に取り付けられる。ミラーアセンブリを取り付ける際、挿入部材２６がクランプ受け３８に押し込まれ、そして、クランプねじ４０によるこの押し込みにより、クランプウェッジ３６がしっかりと固定される。クランプウェッジ３６は、挿入部材２６がクランプ受けに入る方向と直角の方向に摺動可能である。クランプウェッジ３６の摺動により、挿入部材２６が押し上げられるとともに、クランプウェッジ３６が押し下げられ、それぞれクランプ受け３８の上側／下側の境界に押しつけられる。
【００１８】
安全上の理由で、スナップ式戻り止め構成がさらに設けられる。スナップ式戻り止め構成は、クランプ受け３８に取り付けられたスナップ式ばね状エレメント４２を含む。このスナップ式戻り止めエレメント４２は、クランプ受け３８の対応する貫通開口部４４を通って突出する。
【００１９】
挿入部材２６をクランプ受け３８に挿入すると、スナップ式戻り止めエレメント４２が引っ込み、即ち、押し戻され、そして、挿入部材２６の対応する窪みに着座する。支持構造２は、上側カバー４８および下側カバー４９と、取り付けカバー５０とにより覆われる。取り付けカバー５０は、クランプねじ４０とスナップ式戻り止め４２とを覆う。ミラーアセンブリを取り外す場合、より厳密に言うと、サポートアーム４を有するミラーヘッド６を取り外す場合には、主として、取り付けカバー５０を取り外して、ねじをゆるめなければならない。
【００２０】
図５（ａ）には、クランプ受け３８に配置されるロック機構５２が示される。
このロック機構５２により、挿入部材２６が、クランプ受け３８内に固定される。このロック装置は、盗難防止対策となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a horn-type rearview mirror assembly for a commercial vehicle, particularly a bus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to apply to the latter, mirror designs are gaining more and more attention. At least one of these designs is a mirror structure that is mounted far forward and extends outward from the upper end of the A column of the bus body. In this outwardly extending design, the so-called “horn mirror”, a main mirror and an auxiliary mirror are incorporated for the driver to monitor the entrance area and the front zone that is not visible to the driver.
[0003]
A representative of such a horn-type rearview mirror assembly is known from DE-44 29 604 A1. Another such horn type rearview mirror assembly is known from EP-A-0 865 967. The latter is a support arm that can be attached to the vehicle body, and has a support arm having a holding tubular structure as a basic element, a main mirror housed in a housing fixed to the free end of the tubular structure, and a moderately placed housing Including an electrically adjustable end plate. Further, the above-mentioned EP-A-0 865 967 discloses a molding member that supports the auxiliary mirror and covers the tubular structure as a cover between the body end and the main mirror.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this known rearview mirror assembly, a main mirror having a housing and a support arm having an auxiliary mirror covered with a molding member and incorporated therein constitute two separate structural members that are connected to each other. This two-part construction provides certain limitations in the design of such horn-type rearview mirrors and also results in a combinatorial structure. Furthermore, the mounting of such a horn type mirror is complicated due to the assembly of a large number of parts.
The object of the present invention is therefore to make the known horn type rearview mirror of EP-A-0 865 967 more compact.
[0005]
[Means for solving the problems and their functions and effects]
This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
According to the first aspect, the housing of the main mirror is incorporated in the molding member, and the main mirror and at least one auxiliary mirror are attached to one mirror head. Since the main mirror and auxiliary mirror need not be separated, a compact and elegant mirror design is possible. The compact shape with the mirror head has further advantages. This is because unpleasant sounds such as whistles caused by wind during driving are avoided. Such sounds can occur in a two-part design according to the current state of the art. Also, air resistance is improved by the more compact mirror head described above.
[0006]
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, one auxiliary mirror is provided for monitoring the front zone of the vehicle and the left and right zones between the front end of the vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle. In this way, the function of the previous two mirrors is performed by a single mirror, while at the same time a more compact structure is possible. Furthermore, the use of one auxiliary mirror rather than two auxiliary mirrors provides a substantial ergonomic advantage. This is because only one auxiliary mirror and two main mirrors for the two blind spot zones need to be observed.
[0007]
An advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 shows a simplified form of auxiliary mirror, which makes it possible to monitor two different blind spot zones.
According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention as set forth in claims 5 and 6, a cover for the molded member is provided.
According to this cover, firstly the molded part is protected with the parts arranged below it, and secondly the cover is colored with lacquer and matched to the color of the vehicle.
[0008]
According to yet another advantageous embodiment of the invention, a water dispersion rim is provided on the mirror head so as to surround it. This water dispersion rim prevents water and dirt from being carried to the mirror surface by wind during running in the case of rain.
[0009]
According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the mirror assembly is adapted to fold forward in the direction of the windshield or fold backward in the direction of the side window. This method eliminates the need to remove the mirror when using a drive-through car washer.
[0010]
According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a mirror assembly according to the present invention can be attached to a vehicle using a clamping mechanism, which allows the mirror assembly to be easily removed from the vehicle. It becomes possible. This clamping mechanism is the purpose of an application (lawyer file number: P / 11ML0309 / DE) filed on the same day as this application. In this specification, the entire content of the above application is incorporated by reference.
Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are found in the remaining dependent claims.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Further features, details and advantages of the present invention are shown in the following description of preferred embodiments using the drawings.
1 and 2 are perspective views of a preferred embodiment of a horn-type rearview mirror according to the present invention having a support structure 2 for a mirror assembly mounted on either the left or right side of a vehicle (not shown). It shows with. The support structure 2 is connected to the support arm 4. At the other end of the support arm 4, the main mirror 8 and the auxiliary mirror 10 are arranged in a common housing, that is, the mirror head 6. The support arm 4 and the mirror head 6 comprise a foam molded member 12, which is similar to that shown in EP-A-0 865 967, with a carrier structure 13 (not shown in detail in FIG. 1). Is inserted). In this regard, see EP-A-0 865 967. The vehicle end of the carrier structure 13, shown in FIGS. The main mirror 8 and the auxiliary mirror 10 are attached to corresponding adjusting devices 14 and 16 in a common housing, i.e. the mirror head 6, respectively. The mirror head 6 is covered with a cover 18 for protection from the traveling direction. The cover 18 can be colored in the same color as the vehicle with lacquer.
[0012]
FIG 3 and Figure 4, showing the aqueous dispersion rim 20 arranged around on the mirror head 6. The water dispersion rim 20 prevents water and dirt from being carried to the surfaces of the main mirror 8 and the auxiliary mirror 10 by wind generated during traveling.
[0013]
Figure 5 shows a plan view of the auxiliary mirror 10, FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. The auxiliary mirror 10 has a dome shape, a trapezoidal shape, and rounded corners.
[0014]
Due to this shape, the auxiliary mirror 10 makes it possible to reliably monitor two blind spots, ie the zone between the front end of the vehicle and the front axle.
[0015]
The vehicle end of the support arm 4 is connected to the adjustment and folding mechanism 22. The adjustment and folding mechanism 22 allows basic adjustment of the mirror assembly and allows the mirror assembly to be folded forward, i.e. in the direction of the windshield, or rearward, i.e. in the direction of the side window. The adjustment and folding mechanism 22 has a hinge pivot 24 having two pivot arms. One pivot arm is the vehicle end of the carrier structure 13, and the other pivot arm is the insertion member 26.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 8 , the hinge pivot 24 of the adjustment and folding mechanism 22 is coupled by a hinge bolt 28 that passes through a cup spring 30 and a stop washer 32. The hinge bolt 28 is fixed at a predetermined position by two screws 34 and 35 respectively disposed above and below the hinge bolt 28. The stop washers 30 are pressed against each other by the cup spring 30, thereby restricting the mirror assembly to a specific angular position.
[0017]
The support structure 2 is made as a clamp assembly and has an insertion member 26. A clamp wedge 36 is slidably attached to the insertion member 26. A rectangular clamp receiver 38 is also attached to the insertion member 26. The clamp receiver is attached to the vehicle body with screws. When the mirror assembly is installed, the insertion member 26 is pushed into the clamp receiver 38, and this pushing by the clamping screw 40 secures the clamping wedge 36. The clamp wedge 36 is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the insertion member 26 enters the clamp receiver. By sliding the clamp wedge 36, the insertion member 26 is pushed up, and the clamp wedge 36 is pushed down and pressed against the upper / lower boundary of the clamp receiver 38, respectively.
[0018]
For safety reasons, a snap-type detent arrangement is further provided. The snap detent arrangement includes a snap spring-like element 42 attached to the clamp receiver 38. This snap-type detent element 42 projects through a corresponding through opening 44 of the clamp receiver 38.
[0019]
When the insertion member 26 is inserted into the clamp receiver 38, the snap-on detent element 42 is retracted, ie pushed back, and seated in the corresponding recess of the insertion member 26. The support structure 2 is covered with an upper cover 48 and a lower cover 49 and a mounting cover 50. The attachment cover 50 covers the clamp screw 40 and the snap-type detent 42. When removing the mirror assembly, more strictly speaking, when removing the mirror head 6 having the support arm 4, it is necessary to mainly remove the mounting cover 50 and loosen the screws.
[0020]
FIG. 5A shows the lock mechanism 52 disposed on the clamp receiver 38.
